Don't mess with a missionary man.
 First and foremost, I want to say, "THERE IS NO WAY, WITH ALL THE TIME AND SPACE AVAILABLE, THAT I COULD TELL THE WHOLE STORY OF JEFF CASH." Having said that, I'd like to try. Just kidding. Jeff is a long time friend and a missionary in Fort Portal, Uganda. It is Jeff who has helped organizes the many trip for americans to serve at Faith Quest teen camp in Uganda. He has been serving in Uganda for over 10 years and the stories he tells make my life look like a bad novel. Sissy slap Monkey fights, gourmet "pressed head", AK-47's, rebellions, babies, witches, curses, fires, plane crashes, stranded, dredging dead bodies from mucky waters, snakes, COBRA'S, poisonous centipedes, children's hospitals, betrayal, threats, broken bones, riots, theft, machet, viruses, soldiers, orphans, hunger, refugee camps, LRA, ADF, muzungoo, teaching, prayer, faith, love. Believe me the list goes on and on. Many will die having never lived... not Jeff. Jeff embraces life. ALL OF IT. When Jesus said, he came that we might have life and have it abundantly, Jeff believed it. Jeff is also a man who trusts God. For good and in the bad. Jeff doesn't believe in God only because good things happen, no he has seen God's mighty hand in the lives of the world. Where there are people who are helpless and harassed, Jeff is there because God is there. I would also add, that Jeff is the man he is because God gave him a wonderful wife, Cheryl. If he is a great man, it's because he had an incredible wife. Jeff lives how most men want, adventurous. Diving into Gods work is to be what we were created for. That doesn't have to be in Africa or India, it could be where you are standing and making decisions that will allow you to live your life to the fullest. Jeff has taken the "step" of faith and has found a place, that for him, where he can only survive if he trust God. Now what might that look like for you? What does it look like to me? I have thought that my life was boring, it's not. Jeff helps me see that each of us has a story that is God breathed, we just have to take notice of it. I'm thankful for all the wisdom he has given and how he continues to be faithful to where God has called him. peace. johno~ Labels: adventure, africa, cash, Jeff, missionary, Missions, story, uganda |

post a commentWhen Jeff was 3 or 4 years old, his mother in a panic realized that he was missing - while frantically searching the neighborhood she saw a police car go by with Jeff standing in the front seat [no seat belts in those days] pointing the way home, probably preaching to the policeman. "I wanted to see my brothers at school." We should have known that life for Jeff would not mean staying in the yard.
Would you like to hear about the time that he...?
What a wonderful post. I am always trying to describe Jeff to my friends and can never quite find the right words. And I do agree, his wife is the most incredible person I know. She is my forever hero. She is my sister:)
Since Jeff joined the family, there has never been a dull moment for sure!
